(This episode has been re-edited & re-uploaded because apparently Spotify just thinks Fair Use is complete bullshit and doesn't care that the content in this episode falls under Fair Use, so now the episode has been butchered and is almost nonsensical at times because nothing matters anymore.)Our Essential Albums season premiere went into overtime! We just didn't have enough time to share all of our essential album picks with you, dear listener, necessitating the creation of this extended addendum for your listening pleasure. So what are our final essential picks? 1998's self-titled debut album from desert rockers Queens of the Stone Age and 1987's Never Let Me Down From David Bowie.

Welcome back to the show that talks about stuff on purpose! This week, we're talking about... ourselves?! We're doing things a little different this week, since we've been absent for a little while and we think you deserve an explanation for our absence. So that's what this episode is all about. We're talking about TRAPPO on purpose. So that's cool, right?Look, things have changed, dear listener. We know change can be scary, and that's okay. TRAPPO is going to continue, but moving forward, things are going to be a bit different from what they were before. We hope you'll stick around for the rest of season four, and maybe you'll tell a few friends to check out the show and grow our audience a little bit. Or not. It doesn't really matter either way to us. We're just going to keep making the show at our own uneven pace, and that's all there is to it.

Welcome back to the show that talks about stuff on purpose! Since we got such a great response from last week's New Music Showcase [UM}, we've decided to do it all over again with a new New Music Showcase! This week, we're talking about a... heavy folk metal... band from Tyrol, Austria called Perchta, and their latest release, "D'Muata"!

We're hip-deep into spooky season, so let's keep the spooky ball rolling with more spooky music here on the show that talks about spooky stuff on purpose! Last week, we delivered the Spooky Old Music Showcase, and this week, it's the... the Spooky Music Showcase! We were going to call it the Spooky New Music Showcase, but one of the albums we chose was released in the 1980s, so we had to drop the "New". So it's just TRAPPO's Spooky Music Showcase. The four albums we're showcasing on this spooky episode are 2024's BODY HORROR from Turkish/Swedish hauntwave artist Aux Animaux, 2018's IN THE FRIGHTFUL GAZE OF THE PUMPKIN WITCH from Halloween synth trinity Pumpkin Witch, 2024's giallo-inspired A ROSE IN THE GARDEN OF WINTER from Dream Division, and 1982's HOMOTOPY TO MARIE from experimental legend Nurse With Wound. It's a whole bunch of spooky music that you need to check out this Halloween season. It will enrich your lives. In a spooky way. There's a spooky poll down at the official TRAPPO blog, so CLICK HERE to check that out and vote on these albums. Are they spooky enough to be inducted into the TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on? Make your choice, dear listener! While you're there, leave some comments. Tell us what's on your mind. What's your go-to spooky music for the season? Let us know! You can also send us those comments in a spooky email if you're into that. CLICK HERE to do just that, and we'll be your friends for your life.

More spooky stuff to come, so thanks for listening! SPOOKY!

Everybody's heard of I Put A Spell On You, the immortal Halloween classic tune, but how much do you know about the performer behind the music? On this very spooky episode of TRAPPO's Old Music Showcase, we're taking a closer look at the man behind the music, the one and only Screamin' Jay Hawkins. So if you're ready for an unhinged history lesson, you've come to the right place! What do you think about Screamin' Jay Hawkins and his music? Tell us what's on your mind by CLICKING HERE to leave a comment on our official blog, or CLICK HERE to send those thoughts in a haunted email, which we would definitely appreciate.

The show that talks about stuff on purpose is back with our premiere episode of season four! Can you believe TRAPPO's fourth season is here? We can't! Anyhow, if it's our season premiere, then that must mean it's time for our latest Essential Albums episode. What is that, you may be asking? It's a simple enough premise. The two hosts of TRAPPO each choose a handful of albums (new, old, whatever) that they consider "essential", and those albums are inducted into the TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on. What it the TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on, you may be asking? That's the giant cannon we're constructing at an undisclosed location in the high desert, which we will one day load with all the coolest pop culture ephemera this rotten world has to offer, then we'll blast it into outer space for enlightened extraterrestrials to enjoy. So pretty standard stuff, really. What essential albums have we chosen for induction this year? You'll have to listen to find out. That's the deal, kids. Would you like to share some of your essential albums with us? It's easy to do! Just follow THIS LINK to the official TRAPPO blog and leave a comment. Tell us what's on your mind. You can also share your essential album picks with us in an email by CLICKING HERE if you're feeling a bit more verbose. We're also on Threads, so CLICK HERE to follow us there, and we'll probably follow you back. We also have a Substack, if that's the sort of thing that floats your boat. CLICK HERE to subscribe to The TRAPPO Town Gazette for free and you'll get new editions in your inbox every Wednesday. That's a pretty good deal. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to the season three finale of the show that talks about stuff on purpose! And this is a very special episode, dear listener. Very, very, very special. The episode you're about to hear began as an attempt to record a pair of New Music Showcase episodes... but that's not what it became. We started out trying to have a discussion about Darvid Thor's In The Space You Carry and Nox Novacula's Feed The Fire, but the recording was an unmitigated failure. Not due to the music we chose, but due to our own very human failings. In an attempt to salvage the recording, something new emerged. Some new and horrifying thing that defies easy classification. It's almost an hour long, and it will test your patience as well as your sanity. Hey, it's the end of the season. What else did you expect? You can decide the fate of these two albums, dear listener. Just CLICK THIS LINK to visit the official TRAPPO blog and vote in the poll! What poll? The New Music Showcase poll! Do you think these albums belong in the TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on? That's up to you, kids. So vote. While you're there, leave a comment if you'd like. Tell us how terrible this episode truly is. Or you could send us an email. CLICK HERE to do that. If you'd like to listen to Darvid Thor's In The Space You Carry, then CLICK HERE to visit his Bandcamp. If you'd like to listen to Nox Novacula's Feed The Fire, then CLICK HERE to visit their Bandcamp. They would surely appreciate your patronage. We've started a Substack, which is apparently a popular thing, so we're happy to jump on this bandwagon. It's called The TRAPPO Town Gazette, and new editions drop each Wednesday. CLICK HERE to visit and subscribe. It's free, and worth it! We're also on Threads, so if you'd like to follow us there, just CLICK HERE and we'll have a good time. We'll have a time, at least. I suppose promising anything approaching "good" would be irresponsible. Thanks for whatever. Season four starts next week.
